<p>...I am a certified Abenaki Native American. Although my skin is white, I am actively involved with my tribe. I am a rising junior in HS. I had a rough start- I was diagnosed with ADD. Now that I am diagnosed and am on medication, I hope to attain straight A's, like those I'm familiar with. I will be able to raise my GPA to a 3.6UW cumulative GPA (freshman year, sophomore year, and junior year combined) before applying to colleges. That is the highest I can raise it.
...I have 1000+ hours of community service from volunteering at a soup kitchen and a nursing home. For over a year I have worked 20 hours a week at a grocery store. I have a successful website (an online interactive community for bullied teens: I was bullied for NUMEROUS reasons, but two reasons were that I am Native American and I have ADD).
...AP classes start junior year at my school. I attend the best public school in my state. I have taken honors classes thus far. Next year I will take AP English. I'm going to take the AP U.S. History exam, though I'm taking Honors U.S. History. Senior year I will take AP Gov, AP Stats, AP Spanish, AP Bio, and AP Lit, and AP Art.
...On the June SAT, I received around a 2200 but I should be able to raise my scores with enough practice. For SAT II's, I will likely do well on the US History subject test and the Lit subject test.
...Though my parents and siblings have attended state schools, my uncle attended Cornell as an English major. I am aware that does not make me a legacy. My grandmother always talked with me and she was certain I would one day study at Cornell too. I fell in love with the campus when I toured it. I would like to apply ED as a psychology major. What would my chances be?</p>
<p>I feel you have a descent shot at Cornell. Your gpa doesnt HAVE to be a solid 4.0 .
you have a lot of EC’s and your SAT scores are terrific.Try and show more improvement your senior year and the fact that you are native american will help</p>
<p>also, u can explain your ADD in your college essay, don’t try and use it as an excuse but talk about it and point out that after you recieved medication your grades began to rise.</p>
<p>Thank you 
I’ll have my guidance counselor explain the ADD situation.</p>
<p>BUMP I have no chance at Harvard right?</p>
<p>???anyone???</p>
